FAQs

What is the primary design inspiration for the New Balance 327?

The New Balance 327 is inspired by a combination of classic New Balance silhouettes from the 1970s, including the 320, 355, and Supercomp models.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or athletic activities?

These sneakers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and some support, they are not engineered for high-impact athletic activities or serious running.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

For suede, it is best to use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a slightly damp cloth, and always allow the shoes to air dry away from heat.

What does 'Sea Salt Ocean Haze' refer to?

'Sea Salt Ocean Haze' is the colorway description, indicating a blend of off-white and muted blue/green tones for a subtle, oceanic-inspired look.

What makes the midsole 'bell-shaped'?

The 'bell-shaped' midsole refers to the distinctive angular and slightly flared silhouette of the sole at the heel, giving the shoe a retro wedge appearance.

What kind of fit can I expect?

The sneakers feature a lace-up closure for a customizable, snug fit. They also include padded insoles for comfort.

Are these sneakers available in men's sizes?

The 'Sea Salt Ocean Haze' model described is specifically listed in women's sizing. Please check product listings for men's variants if available.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a soft cloth and gently rub. Allow to air dry completely.

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone.

Ensure laces are fully dry and not frayed. Try a double knot if they tend to loosen easily. Replace laces if they are worn.

Discomfort or rubbing during wear.

Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Break them in gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check for any internal seams or debris causing friction.

Reduced grip on smooth surfaces.

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any embedded dirt or smooth debris that might be affecting traction. The trail-inspired lugs offer best performance on varied terrain.
